Chimney Fireplace Flue Repairs

Understanding the chimney flue is essential for the optimal functioning of your fireplace system. This crucial component is designed to channel smoke and gases produced by the fire out of your home, preventing their accumulation inside. Constructed from materials like clay, metal, or ceramic, the flue can degrade over time due to exposure to extreme temperatures, moisture, and environmental factors.
